I was kind of hoping the Pirates would have won last night. Yesterday was Roberto Clemente Day in MLB.

Joshua Palacios, a Puerto Rican right fielder just like Clemente, provided a tribute with his own flavor. With the national flag of Puerto Rico in his right hand and an ear-to-ear smile on his face, Palacios set out toward right field, where Clemente’s No. 21 was spray-painted onto the grass. Upon spotting several Puerto Rican fans in the bleachers atop the Clemente Wall, Palacios played to his crowd and waved the flag with pride.

“That was one of the biggest, energetic, goosebump moments that I had this year,” Palacios said following the Pirates’ 7-5 loss to the Yankees on Friday night at PNC Park. “It’s pretty crazy. Running out there with the flag, you feel the energy, you feel the aura and everything he did for the city and everything he left behind. It was indescribable.”
